Howdy folks, long time no posty on here, but like my bike, I've come out of winter hibernation! ;)

Anyhoo, was hoping to pick these up but they've gone up to the ridiculously high price of £275 - for used exhausts ffs!!

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... NA:GB:1123

I fancy some new cans on mine (I have high level Fighter cans at the mo) but I want to take the mrs pillion and I can't with the fighter cans - I've given up on ever seeing any fighter pegs :(

So... anybody recommend some exhausts? Loud is good, not interested in quiet, might prefer some with removable baffles for MOT time (though I've never had a problem with my fighter cans, which sound like the fires of Hades open up behind you!)

Was thinking either Fuel carbon effect or Beowulf black cans.

Ideas?

as it happens - would you like to give me a big sloppy kiss??

there you go :)

Mwah!

I did see that thread last week I think but hadn't revisited it. I've posted on it and hopefully he'll respond. I don't post much 'over there' though

am a cynic - they will be on ebay for a LOT of money

Dunno if it will help but I've told him to sell them to you as you ride one of the ultra-rare Oasis Green Falcos

.... any excuse

.... and if you don't get them, then I can certainly say I've been very pleased with my Fuel carbon effect can

I can second the quality of the Fuel 'fake carbon' cans. They look way better in the flesh than in any photos. I've not ever taken the baffles out due to lazyness and I use my bike early some mornings and get on with my neighbours but even with baffles in they're slightly louder than stock and sound way meatier

I've got a pair of carbon effect oval Fuel cans that i had on my falco,they're in good condition but i do confess to having cut the baffles down , i'm open to offers.

how the hell did ya get the baffles out, I tried the other day and they were stuck in there pretty solid, and yes i did remember to remove the bolt Maybe it'd be easier to do when the exhausts are hot?

I've never had a problem , they just pulled out with a pair of pliers .

Cheers big ears! I appear to have forgotten my bloody login details for AF1 already, unless I've done a typo. Will keep an eye on that thread anyway.

Mind you - aladinsane - your solution looks pretty neat (as posted on AF1). I've only seen that done before with quite long spacers which look precarious - however yours look pretty cool and more solid. I've already sourced some grey standard pegs in anticipation of possibly buying some new cans - but I'm not that much of a spanner monkey to be able to drill out a rod. :(

Timovee - got any pics of your cans? Care to describe the condition of them, any scratches, marks etc?

if you had the measurements, any engineering shop would be able to do them - probably for less and 20 quid - very very quick to do with the right tools

What diameter rod did you use? Did you drill out an 8mm hole?

They've been on the bike for about 18 months , so got the usual marks where the straps go, very slight dent in the back where one made contact with the swingarm apart from that pretty good . I can send pics but you'll have to pm your e mail cos i haven't mastered the posting pics thing !
